On the A’s podcast with Jeremiah:

#1 Jeremiah, Tony Kemp will be the A’s starting second baseman will be playing the most games of his career and is expected to be the A’s lead off hitter.

#2 Elvis Andrus will be the starting shortstop, Andrus struggled after June 1 last season hitting only .264. The scouting report reads he doesn’t strike out a whole lot and that could help improve his numbers and put him higher up in the batting order.

#3 The A’s will be starting Seth Brown in rightfield. Brown hit 23 home runs, 60 hits, and had 48 RBIs last season. Brown is also in the rotation to play first base as first has been up for grabs since Matt Olson was traded to the Atlanta Braves.

#4 The A’s might be looking to go with Billy McKinney at first base tonight in Philadelphia. McKinney who played with the Los Angeles Dodgers last season. McKinney this spring hit .258, 8 hits, 2 home runs and 5 RBIs.

#5 With this roster and the with Olson and former third baseman Matt Chapman now gone nothing is really written in stone pertaining to the A’s line ups. Could you see it changing each day, each series or each week?

On the A’s podcast with Jeremiah:

#1 It’s not often you get to see a pitcher go the distance but the Oakland A’s (30-22) starter Chris Bassitt went wire to wire on Thursday night to throw a two hit 5-0 shutout against the Los Angeles Angels (22-28) at the Oakland Coliseum.

#2 Jeremiah, Bassitt had all his pitches working for him and you have to in order to get a shutout

#3 Bassitt also struck out nine batters and walked only one batter and that right there tells you he kept the Angels off balance at the plate.

#4 It was a 0-0 game for most of the way until the last of the sixth inning when the A’s scored five runs all the runs they needed to win the ball game.

#5 Taking a look at the starters for tonight’s game at the Coliseum for the Angels Shohei Ohtani (1-0 ERA 2.37) and for the A’s Sean Manaea (3-2 ERA 4.17) talk about this match up.

#2 Jeremiah, the A’s went down to Los Angeles earlier this week lost two out three to the Dodgers one of the best teams in MLB was this series reflective of who the Dodgers are and what a force they will be in post season.

#3 Here’s a team who has been denied the World Series trophy in the last few post season and the Dodgers really have been playing this short 60 game season like their on a mission,

#4 The A’s on Thursday night ran into some great pitching starting with Dodgers starter Walker Buehler who threw over four inning of work and the A’s just only one hit off of him?

#5 Also on Thursday night the Dodgers bullpen proved what they could do and what they could be when five of their relievers shut A’s hitting down for the rest of that game.

#6 The A’s are in Seattle tonight for a doubleheader at T-Mobile Field a 4:10 first pitch for the front game. That’s four games in the series total the Mariners are tenth in the seeding and will need the rest of these games to try to have a shot at a playoff spot.
